Glyphosate is the key ingredient in Roundup herbicide, and it's currently sold to consumers in retail stores across America, including Lowe's, Home Depot, Tractor Supply and many others.

Glyphosate scientifically linked to cancer

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) recently concluded that glyphosate was a probable carcinogen, meaning it causes cancer. That announcement was published in The Lancet, and it was based on "...17 experts from 11 countries [who] met at the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC; Lyon, France) to assess the carcinogenicity of the organophosphate pesticides tetrachlorvinphos, parathion, malathion, diazinon, and glyphosate." You can read about it in more detail at this link at GMOevidence.com.

We've also recently learned that Monsanto knew 35 years ago that glyphosate was linked to cancer, but the EPA -- always faithful to its corporate masters -- covered up the evidence. (Today, the EPA has similarly announced that fracking doesn't contaminate well water... yet another sellout of the citizenry to Big Business.)

Both Lowe's and Home Depot are big box retailers that sell products for residential and commercial construction. They retail tools, plumbing supplies, home appliances, painting supplies, light fixtures, lumber and so on.

Both retailers feature large, well-stocked garden and plant sections where glyphosate is prominently marketed under various brand names including Monsanto's Roundup. The over-the-counter availability of this poison implies that it's safe to handle and use around homes, animals and children. As a result, many public schools areas are sprayed with glyphosate, exposing children to this chemical that we now know is linked to cancer. Municipal parks and other public grounds are also frequently sprayed with glyphosate, causing the widespread contamination of entire cities with glyphosate thanks to wind drift.

How many children are being exposed to this cancer-causing chemical right now because retailers like Lowe's and Home Depot make this readily available to anyone who wants to purchase it? It wasn't long ago that pharmacy retailers like CVS and Walgreens stopped selling cold medicines over the counter to prevent people from turning those ingredients into street meth. That was a decision grounded in some level of corporate responsibility to prevent products they sell from being used to harm human beings. Yet Home Depot and Lowe's are selling an herbicide chemical that can cause cancer, leading to death.

Astonishingly, both Lowe's and Home Depot will sell deadly glyphosate chemicals to children and teens, with no ID required and no age requirement on its purchase.

We must educate Lowe's and Home Depot about the toxicity and danger of glyphosate

We realize Home Depot and Lowe's aren't "evil" corporations like Monsanto itself. Their product buyers probably have no idea that glyphosate is even being banned by other retailers around the world... and they have no intention of contributing to our ongoing cancer epidemic that kills innocent people by the hundreds of thousands each year. They just want to offer products that they see as improving the lives of their customers.

So it's up to us to educate Lowe's and Home Depot about the toxicity of the glyphosate herbicide they're selling. We need to wake them up to this issue and make them aware that we expect them to act with a sense of corporate integrity and compassion for human like. We expect them to take a serious look at this issue, recognize the urgent safety issues of how glyphosate negatively impacts human health, and pull this chemical from store shelves to prevent even more people from being harmed by it -- just like retailers are already doing across Europe (with more bans yet to come globally).

You can help us achieve this important safety goal for the common good of our cities and communities by signing and sharing these two Change.org petitions:

Send a message to Lowe's and Home Depot: STOP PROFITING FROM POISON

By signing these petitions and sharing this story, you'll help send a message to Lowe's and Home Depot, demanding they stop profiting from the retail sales of a cancer-causing poison.

After all, the children of Europe are now being protected by an increasing number of countries and retailers that are halting the sales of glyphosate to the public. Should European children be the only ones who are protected from this cancer-causing chemical? Why shouldn't American children have a better shot at growing up without deadly brain cancers and endocrine disruption that leads to lifelong health problems and premature death? Are American children doomed to grow up as Monsanto's lab rats, fed toxic foods doused with glyphosate because the practice enriches a few evil corporations?

Glyphosate is the new DDT, and it's time we banned it all across our living planet. We must not let Monsanto and big box retailers profit from the selling of cancer-causing chemicals that contaminate our farms, fields, waterways and bodies.

Margaret of Mar, 31st Countess of Mar (4), member of the House of Lords in the UK, stated;

"It is to the women of the world that we must turn if future generations are to be able to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. Glyphosate is known to probably cause cancers and other life threatening medical conditions and yet it is to be found everywhere. As individuals we cannot know whether or not we or our children are affected. This remarkable project will enable the women of the world to discover whether glyphosate is in our bodies or water supply; to learn how to avoid further exposures and, finally, to join together to show that we will no longer tolerate glyphosate in our food, water, air."

He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.

Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.

In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition.
